[SOLVED] Troubles with compiling Gtk+

Hello,

this is embarassing, but I get an error when I try to compile this code:

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  GtkWidget *window;

  gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

  window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);

  g_signal_connect(window, "destroy", G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit), NULL);

  gtk_widget_show(window);

  return 0;
}

with command:

$ gcc hello_gtk.c -o hello_gtk 'pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0'

and I get and error:

gcc: error: pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk-3.0: No such file or directory

My path to file "gtk.h" (quotes for clarity) is:

/usr/include/gtk+-3.0/gtk/gtk.h

Do you have an idea, what could the problem be?

Thanks,

-pizet

Re: [SOLVED] Troubles with compiling Gtk+

You want either

gcc hello_gtk.c -o hello_gtk `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0`

or

gcc hello_gtk.c -o hello_gtk $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0)

With simple quotes gcc thinks this is a file..

Edit: Also your program doesn't call the gtk_main().
